He showed a great deal of patience at this final table, taking the right spots and doubling up three times against his future runner-up, the first time with As-Queens against As-Suited 8s, the second time with Aces against As-Suited 10s and the third time with Aces (again!) against Queen-Jack.
Solid, discreet and cautious, Matthias Mordhorst won the Namur Classics Main Event without impressing, but with his German-style poker and his short-stack skills.
Admittedly, he hit a lot of big games, twice hitting the arrows on this final table, but above all he managed not to crack and waited for the chips to come his way.
He won this Namur Classics Main Event from a field of 1,270 entries, collecting €45,805 and a ticket for the CPS Main Event next December.
The large number of Germans who attended the Namur Classics is set to return regularly to the Circus Casino Resort in Namur, and they'll no doubt be back for the Belgian Poker Challenge, which kicks off on May 8.
